Employment law is comprised of a variety of different claims.
These claims may be brought against an employer by an individual
employee or on behalf of a group of employees, i.e., a
representative action or class action. Regardless of the
classification, our firm is dedicated to protecting your rights
which may include the following claims:

Harassment claims encompass many different forms, including but
not limited to race, sexual orientation, national origin, pregnancy,
gender/sex, marital status, medical leave, and religion. Harassment
may be verbal, physical or visual in nature, such as derogatory
comments, unwanted touching, or lewd gestures.

Wrongful Termination

While California is generally a "at will" state—meaning an
employee may be fired for any reason or no reason at all—the law
still protects an employee from an unlawful termination. A wrongful
termination may occur where an employee is terminated based on
his/her race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or religious
status. A wrongful termination may also occur in violation of public
policy, i.e., engaging in protected activity, or where there is a
breach of contract.

Retaliation

Retaliation may occur when an employer takes an adverse action
against an employee for engaging in a protected activity, which may
include: filing a claim with the Labor Commissioner; taking time off
work to serve on a jury or appear as a witness in court; disclosing
or discussing your wages; using sick leave to attend the illness of
a child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or child of the domestic
partner of the employee; engaging in the political activity of your
choice; and for filing complaint about safety or health conditions
or practices. Other protected activities may include making
complaints or refusing to in engage in illegal activity, testifying
or assisting in a legal or governmental proceeding, or asserting
your constitutional rights of free speech and petition. Retaliation
may occur when the employer responds by terminating, demoting, or
taking some other adverse action against the employee as a result of
the employee’s engagement of any of the listed protected activities.

Discrimination

Discrimination may occur in many forms and is often based on a
protected class. Such classes include, age, sex, sexual orientation,
ethnicity, religion, disability, medical condition, ancestry,
national origin, marital status, and gender.
